  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Conine  \Co"nine\  (?  or  ?),  n.  [From  {Conium}.]  (Chem.) 
  A  powerful  and  very  poisonous  vegetable  alkaloid  found  in  the 
  hemlock  ({Conium  maculatum})  and  extracted  as  a  colorless 
  oil,  {C8H17N},  of  strong  repulsive  odor  and  acrid  taste.  It 
  is  regarded  as  a  derivative  of  piperidine  and  likewise  of  one 
  of  the  collidines.  It  occasions  a  gradual  paralysis  of  the 
  motor  nerves.  Called  also  {coniine},  {coneine},  {conia},  etc 
  See  {Conium},  2.
